This raw nut butter is better than shop bought ones, as there isn't any added sugar or palm oil. Just yummy healthy ingredients that aren't baked.
Raw foods aren't cooked or baked which means the natural enzymes and nutrients aren't killed making it a healthier way of eating. Plus it is much quicker to make.
I don't believe that a completely 'living' and a raw food diet is the way forward. As well as our body finding it hard to digest some of the raw foods, it means we would miss out on a lot of tasty baked treats!
150g of your choice of nuts. (I like cashew, almond, and pecan the best)
The more oil the nut has the better, as this releases when being ground to get the butter-like texture and taste.
Tea-spoon of Coconut Oil
Sprinkle of Salt
Cinnamon for added taste
Food Processor
Add all the nuts into the food processor and blend using the S blade tool.
The oils of the nuts will release once they have been ground and mixed enough. This takes quite a bit of time, normally from 15-30 minutes. You have to be patient as it seems like it will never happen and then suddenly it does.
Once the nuts are starting to look a little more like butter, add the coconut oil in to give the nuts are little added help. This should move the process on a lot quicker.
You will then see when the texture becomes more butter like, sprinkle in some salt and a bit of cinnamon and finally mix to get all the flavours through.
Magic - your raw butter is now complete!

Molly, I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I are gluten and dairy intolerant but have just ignored it for years for the ease of 'family eating' but am definitely going to incorporate some of your recipes, they're so good (and my body will probably thank me for it, too!)
Hi, aw well thank you!
DeleteI never realised how bad I felt until I cut it out! And I know everyone says that it is a struggle finding things to cook/buy/create but I think its just about the same effort! I also cook like this for my family and friends, and I think they enjoy it just as much as any other food! (If not more!) :)
